nany Forum Guru Topics: 14 Posts: 1,060	01/09/08 - 01:42 PM             #431 hi Ivonne .....actually I thought one day that one can ignore this statistics and live without it .......I can't imagine remembering all these equations and definitions may be only if we can give it to life so it will be easier like mytime said kill it for me Ivonne ...for all the humanity in the whole world Edited by nany on 01/09/08 - 06:29 PM ___________________ " You Are Limited Only By What You Think "
Ivonne Find a way or make one Topics: 58 Posts: 1,611	01/09/08 - 06:17 PM             #432 Agree Nany but we have to know it! Ok finished up kaplan Qbank step 1 biostatistics. Those questions are worth it and feeling better about that topic. Bring the questions on!!! Next goal, finish up a quick revision of preventive medicine and poisoning and do the UW questions again (I want to finish the 38% UW remaining/second round because i feel that i didn't master UW yet, i feel that i need to learn more from UW) ___________________ "I must, I can and I will"

anuba Forum Elite Topics: 6 Posts: 449	01/11/08 - 10:29 AM             #439 YOU are doing great Ivonne. Good luck! You work very hard.
Ivonne Find a way or make one Topics: 58 Posts: 1,611	01/11/08 - 02:57 PM             #440 Thanks anuba, just trying. Again picking up extra info from UW for instance i keep making mistakes about diverticulosis versus angiodysplasia which are the most common cause of painless GI bleeding in the elderly but if the question gives hints as aortic stenosis or renal failure and a normal sigmoidoscopy lol the diagnosis is angiodysplasia. There is a well defined association between aortic stenosis and angiodysplasia. When a patient has GERD and alarm symptoms: Nausea/vomiting Weight loss, melena, anemia prolonged disease >= 1 -2 years Not response to proton inhibitors Proceed to do an upper endoscopy and skip an esophagogram if patient doesn't have dysphagia. Lactose intolerance has a positive hydrogen breath test Irritable bowel syndrome may present with mucus in the stool Folic acid can be depleted in 4 to 6 months while B12 stores last 3 to 4 years. Bacterial overgrowth/malabsorption syndrome/H/O surgery Anorexia /digoxin toxicity/exacerbate by verapamil Now onto Hepatology...

Methotrexate side effects: Stomatitis, nausea, abdominal pain, fever, hepatotoxicity and myelosuppresion among others. Extra-colonic manifestations of ulcerative colitis: Erythema nodosum, episcleritis, pyoderma gangrenosum , arthritis, cholangitis, p ANCA +, (arthritis presentation is similar to ankylosing spondylitis) New onset lupus do a kidney biopsy Edited by Ivonne on 01/14/08 - 04:27 PM ___________________ "I must, I can and I will"
